Engine Cooling Thermostat for OE-Style Temperature Control
The Motorad Fail-Safe 7656-195 engine coolant thermostat is built for precise coolant regulation in demanding cooling systems. It is specified at 195 degrees F and includes a rubber seal for a direct replacement installation on supported applications.
Compatible With 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro, 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler, 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, and other listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Volkswagen models, this thermostat is designed to restore proper operating temperature control. The Motorad 7656-195 is also a fitment match for 2007-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey applications.
Key Features
- 195 degree F thermostat temperature for OE-specified cooling performance
- Fail-Safe design locks open in an overheating event to maintain coolant flow
- Copper case and wax compound for quick response to coolant temperature changes
- Offset design with air relief valve where applicable
- Rubber gasket/seal included for installation
- Manufactured to OEM specifications and processes by an OE supplier
Detailed Product Overview
Motorad Fail-Safe 7656-195 is an engine coolant thermostat engineered for vehicles that require a 195 degree F opening temperature. The copper case and wax element are designed to react quickly as coolant temperature changes, helping the engine reach and maintain the correct operating range. The Fail-Safe line is built to lock in the open position if overheating occurs, which helps preserve coolant circulation in a critical temperature event. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 76561 for the same application.
Use this thermostat when servicing cooling system concerns on Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Grand Caravan, Jeep Wrangler, and related applications listed in the fitment data. The Motorad 7656-195 is a direct-fit cooling system service part for vehicles that call for OE-style thermostat control at 195 degrees F.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Engine running hotter than normal due to a sticking thermostat
- Slow warm-up or unstable operating temperature
- Coolant flow issues caused by thermostat wear or age
- Overheating concerns tied to restricted thermostat operation
- Cooling system service needs on OE-specified 195 degree F applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the thermostat housing style and sealing surface before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the rubber seal, and confirm the replacement matches the OE-specified 195 degree F temperature requirement. This part does not include an installation tool. For best results, refill and bleed the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure to remove trapped air.
Quality Assurance
Motorad manufactures this Fail-Safe thermostat with OEM-quality materials and safety standards as an OE supplier. It is produced to OEM specifications and processes for consistent fit and temperature control in supported Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Volkswagen applications.
This part fits 52 vehicles
